His wife Missy is fucking awesome and so nice. Ppl shouldnt be thinking somehow thats shes a bitch or overly domineering simply bc of this.

Furthest thing from the truth... mcnabb is just looking for some helpful advice so that he may bring around his better half's thinking and have everything fine and dandy.

Decision are so much better to make when all parties are happy and content with them

Definatly the money angle is the way to go. Since you have mentioned that she drives a FJ Cruiser, tell her the money you save on gas can be used so she can drive that gas hog.

I've actually never met anyone that didn't say the Yaris is cute. No one has made any other comments. They all say the same thing. Almost makes me think it is a conspiracy.

Do not let your wife or her parents 'choose' your car for you. Be a man and stand firm. You don't ever want to be known as 'whipped' do you?

BensVitz · 05-20-2006, 02:48 PM

How'd you guess? :-) But I'm a little possessive about my cars. I don't like other people to drive them. If something goes wrong, I want to have been the last person to have driven it.

Spouse and family are there to give you OPINIONS but once you weigh all the opinions the decision should be YOURS and nobody else. However if your parents and/or relatives are giving you the money, all bets off.....

I just noticed whta else you had and since you have a Ducati 750 then yes I would consider it dorky. But only cause you have such a bad ass bike.

TX_Yaris · 05-22-2006, 08:25 PM

And you might want to point out that Yaris won top 10 COOLEST!!! cars under $18K by Edmunds.com

Ahhhhhh..... I can tell you have Impeccable taste

Well today was "Supposed" to be the day that the Yaris was going to come into our lives in a big way... (or so I had hoped) to make a long story short we didn't even make it to the toyota dealership.

.. we stopped at Carmax and literally bought the first car we saw. After all this talk of my wife thinking the Yaris is dorky she ended up getting a Volkswagen Beetle convertible, the reason I say she ended up with it is because she wanted the beetle so bad I decided to make a H U G E sacrifice and humbly took driving rights of the FJ.

Anyways the beetle is a stick shift and is cobalt blue and tan leather interior. I don't normally like beetles at all but this one is very becoming.. anyways maybe I will get a yaris when the trim levels move up a little (electronic dashes and all).

let the flamming begin

Did you get a diesel at least?

ricko · 05-23-2006, 08:26 AM

At least you still have the Ducati, although from what I remember the Yaris would get better mileage!

Nope but it gets better mpg than the jeep 24/30

Well it is supposed to get an estimated 40/50mpg but then thats all relative to how you ride it

ricko · 05-23-2006, 11:41 AM

I have NEVER met anybody with a Ducati, that drove in anything approaching a fuel saving mode.

yarisgirl · 05-23-2006, 12:10 PM

I rode around in at 14mpg car. I have had many cars in my short life as a driver. I grew up with a ford van due to my mothers disability, then I had a plymoth horizon. After that it was my choice as a nanny to use either a 15 seat van, suburbon, or a ford explorer. I loved the Explorer when I had just the little ones with me. I then met my husband and he owned a Jeep Wrangler. 14 mpg on a good day, only going downhill in san fransisco. Now I own a Yaris. A cute compact car with lots of potential.

First it smiles at me when I walk up to it. Second I get noticed driving down the street. Third, no one on my block or for that matter in my town owns one yet.
4th with all the money saved on gas I can go on a cruise and afford payments and insurance.

Cute factor, this car outside sits higher then most cars of its class, it has a smile on all of the time, and it is earth friendly.
MY yaris has all of 200 miles on it. and I already know I am going to be doing some slight mods to it when the parts get on the market.

Ok so finished rambling enjoy your day. I am going to take my Yaris out for a drive.

The day after I bought my yaris i drove it over to a friends house to show it off and go out to lunch. As I drove up I noticed the car in front of me was a red lotus convertible. And they wound up parking across the street. I got out and the two guys in the lotus came over and started asking me questions about my yaris. They were just gushing over it. Asking me all sorts of questions. I found that kind of interesting with thier big interest in my yaris considering they were driving a 100,000 thousand dollar car.

I will take some snapshots tonightto let you see her.. I believe this vehicle was designed for missy

I am totally digging the FJ and the aftermarket sound system is remarkably good as well.. especially when you pair it with that new Nickelback CD

(kidding, i dislike nickelback)

I know that had to make you feel good !!

I don't fell dorky at all for loving my Yaris other than it's a little different (center cluster, hiding little aux glovebox, cupholder location,) all of which I think are very cool. The style of this thing I believe really rocks, and all the intrest it attracts. At 38+ mpg I just tell people it's my four wheel covered motorcycle.
